Abeles matrix formalism
The Abeles matrix method is a computationally fast and easy way to calculate the specular reflectivity from a stratified interface, as a function of the perpendicular momentum transfer, Qz:
\( Q_{z}={\frac {4\pi }{\lambda }}\sin \theta =2k_{z} \)
where θ is the angle of incidence/reflection of the incident radiation and λ is the wavelength of the radiation.
